    Interesting how because Powell simultaneously played football and fought as a boxer he needed to be 225lb to 235lb for football but would need to lose weight for boxing fighting at 210lb.

    Obviously the extra weight in boxing was a disadvantage when heavyweights trimmed down, threw more shots and wrestled less.

    Today he would not need to come down in weight to fight as a heavyweight.

    He is in a mural in Oakland.



    No. No one wants to see that. Trying getting some fresh air.
